I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Navan (New York, NY) in Nov 2023
Interview
They completely lead you on. Before the final round interview, they ask if you would accept an offer to which I was hesitant as I needed to see a contract, and that was completely used against you. Not to mention they only allow 48 hours to accept an offer. There was zero negotiation with salary. The HR team seems a little too unprofessional. Not worth the time/effort for a below average NYC base salary.
Straightforward, normal SDR interview process. recruiter screen, hiring manager/SDR leader interview, and one skills-focused conversation, all in a cold-call scenario. The typical why you, why sales, why now. Do your research and have a strong why.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Navan in Mar 2026
Interview
Had one screening call, and it was one of the weirdest interviews I've ever had. The interviewer sounded like AI, and it didn't seem like any of my answers were even being listened to. I would talk for about a minute or two, answering questions, and the interviewer wouldn't even react or give feedback, just go straight into the next question. A waste of my time.
Overall pretty standard. Only got to second round so it was all virtual in my experience. Their energy is very much like the typical SF based saas company maturing into going public.
